- Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

Mike turns down no scrap. He appreciates a nut or bolt just as much as he appreciates a fridge or stove. His comical adlibs to everything in his videos makes this one enjoyable addicting watch. For those of us who can't get out because of health issue's , it's like riding along and seeing what he gets into.
That's me...arthritis has me inside 😢
You are right. Sometimes I find myself trying to help lift the heavy stuff.😂😂
I'm also stuck inside pacemaker and bone cancer. So I very much enjoy riding along with Mike. He's the best scrapper ever !!
He does turn down some scrap. He will not take any metal wall studs. No matter how many are in the dumpsters he will not take them
and he will not take refrigerators full of rotten food!
Me screaming at the phone….”WHY DIDN’T YOU START WITH THE MAGNET…..GET THE MAGNET MIKE!”. I was also screaming “STOP THROWING AWAY TOOLS YOU CLOWNS!”
He is very thorough when scrapping in a dumpster doesn't miss a thing
Ya he knows how to toss a dumpster for sure!!!
Dottie and Mike the dynamic duo, no scrap left behind. It was like Christmas in those dumpsters.
The gift that keeps on giving! Scrappity scrap! Great job!❤❤❤
Its just incredible what he pulls out of dumpsters. We waste so much of our resources. I'm glad he repurposes and saves some of the items.
You mean to tell me that you really think that stuff inside that top dumpster would really be going to the landfill that's not how that works
🖕@@appsunder-ground2524
My neck always hurts after watching mike dig in a dumpster lol I’m always stretching my neck so I can see what’s down in there with him 😂
Hi Mike. I’m a cop. You are an inspiration too me. I wish I could do what you do.
You must be one of those "good cops" I have heard about. Not like the ones that put me in the back of the wagon for just looking in a dumpster! Lucky I hadn't taken anything out yet.. had a few interviews over the years but no charges.
Wow Mike, your area has no shortage of scrap. Awesome.
It's amazing how people can throw tools away. It's madness. With the year coming to an end, companies will throw more stuff away.
So, I wonder if the original owners of this stuff see it getting picked up?
I would be pissed if I ran a company and saw how much my workers threw out.
@suzi_mai HI. Yes, I would be. If you leave stuff like this here in South Africa, where I'm from, you will start a riot. It's unbelievable how much usable stuff gets thrown away there in old Mike's County.
Mike the scavenger is awesome 😎
The tub with the pipes running in/out is a fog cooler. It takes a fog machine on one end and it comes out the other end. You fill it with dry ice usually.
That was a Christmas dumpster it just kept on giving in the true spirit of the season.
Mike the hardest working CZcamsr I know thank you for great content
Yay Mike ❤
@ 16:29 god you find great stuff.... Great job Sir....
Been scrapping part time for decades, (love your channel), just bought a wire stripping machine.. upping my game.. lol
Thanks!
Ohhhh, breakfast with my favorite scavenger this morning, what a treat.😊
Yes sir!!!
Loved the video Mike you are a determined scrap collector leave nothing behind not even a nut or bolt ❤😊
Must say ole chap, pretty good haul.. can't beat that.. peace ✌☮
My man Mike
The stuff you find is just CRAZY!
Don't we just love it when Mike finds a dumpster or skiff full to the max and out comes the big magnet and when we are totally amazed bring on the "hero" music!!! Great video, Hero Mike.
We sure do!😊
Gonna have some serious sorting in your future! Thanks for saving all that stuff from the landfill.
If it weren't for you taking all the scrap to be recycled, it would in up in the land field and that ain't good for the environment, so thanks for doing your part to help. I am a fan and I love watching you dig around hunting for hidden treasures.
*landfill*
Whatever Liz , you knew what I meant but I know some people like to nitpick.
I loved the background music you had on there when you were picking up the stuff in the dumpster. 😂😂
Never change mike your mindset, humor and attitude to life is infectious love your videos mate always have a smile on my face afterwords ❤
Howdy
Wow Mike, you found a honey hole in that big blue dumpster. Awesome sauce. Stay safe and again congrats on a awesome haul. ❤
You should open a 2nd chance hardware store. Can't believe the amount of perfectly good tools you find. Quite a haul congrats
My guess, a business loss their lease and the landlord cleaned out the place.😢 Then along comes Mike - and the result is a new scraper video 😂
Man what a treasure chest of fittings and odds and ends, that was so exciting to see you go through.
You always find the craziest things, Mike. Thanks for the ride along.
Man love watching you do your thing. I'm normally not like this and not even aware myself when I dumpster dive but I watch you and worry sometimes when you dig through these garbage bags always worried your gonna get stuck by a needle. Stay safe mike
He wears gloves and is very keen on being aware and cautious. 😊
Lucky Dumpster with Tons of Smalls - Great Score indeed ! A Chair that had a Blowout - ha-ha - Funny Mike ! I will grab You by Your Handle - wow ! Handful of Bikes and Such ! Dottie was pretty Full ! A very Enjoyable Video and many Cheers from Australia !
It amazes me what people throw away at times.

Hey Mike! I really enjoyed watching your videos. I can’t wait to see more from you!
Thanks for giving me my fix today, Mike.
Great job Mike! That’s a lot of scrap!
Mike, the scavenger BEAST!!!!!🦾🦾🦾❤
That’s how Mike plays coin toss 👍🏻🤣😂🤣
Oh wow! That littles dumpster was incredible! It just kept going!
Excellent street scraping and then a open top with some awesome stuff and then finishing off with more street scraping thank you for sharing this with us six stars

Dumpsters are the BEST!!!
Literalmente me me.meti en ese contenedor de las pequeñas joyas es realmente navegar con mucha dificultad para alcanzar el objetivo !!!que barbaro ud siempre lo consigue!!!!! Es ud un buen luchador maestro lo felicito cuidece y descance
That was a LOT from one dumpster! Sometimes I wonder if the people who dump a bunch of metal stuff later see Mike taking the time and effort to dig it back out again. After watching the Scavenger, I won't throw away scrap anymore!
That dumpster was crazy full!
Great video. Really nice scrapping and lots of goodies.
I get so anxious with all the hardware falling down, so relieved when the magnetic broom comes out. 😅
Mike The Scavenger King !
Love watching me some scrapping, thanks mike..😊😊😊
Love it when you score a mega hit, but you did all that scrabbling about in that dumpster that just kept on giving and giving. Pleased for you.
Brilliant video Mike. Some wonderful finds love it.

LOL at your brutal Texas winters!! Love, from way up here in the Great North!
HOLY CRAP!!! That's a TON of Aluminum!!! Great Video!!!😮

bikes in good shape are great to donate this time of year
That is alot of lil metal! So loving your magnet! I want one just because 😂
Mikes going to play pick up sticks game except with metal stuff.
while you were digging deep in my head I heard those who dig DEEP in life get the REWARDS message from GOD???? sure sounded like it to me wishing a BLESSED 2024 great videos!!! love to see all the stuff your save from land fill!!!!
For the life of me, y’all never understand why people throw tools away
No scrap is safe when Mike is around. "There will be no scrapvivors" keep it up brother been watching your content a long time and picking up the odd bit of merch ❤ love it all. I will leave no video unliked 😂
Love to watch your Energy Mike!
If I like a video, I normally hit the like about 15 minutes in. I microscrap and watch the videos. This way, I don't have to drop what I'm doing to hit the like button. I'm a huge fan of Mike and love what he does, especially open tops. I watch some videos that end without warning, and I get bummed that I didn't get a chance to hit the like button. That's just me.
Hitting that like button is free! I always like Mike’s videos, so I hit that like button straight away.
I love Mikes attitude! He is funny, smart and really likes what he does. Some content creators get to 500K and are bored with the process. They get their video editor to do cut and splice to fill out the video time where Mike stays on point. I like that he keeps the sound bits and jokes parsimoniously peppered into the videos. Some people have been doing the same stuff for years and it gets old. Good Job Buddy!
Another great scrap run, Mike. Love your channel.
I love what you do mike, I remember doing that when I was younger, now I just do accounts!!!
That open top was the mother load jackpot. Woohoo 🎉
Strait Flex is for splay angles in drywall
That one big dumpster was a scrappers honey hole for sure! All the tools to boot! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
Thanks an awful lot for letting us see you gathering up all that stuff in the open top. It was just like the old days !! That metal shelf could be painted with rustproofing paint and put out on your patio for plants and stuff. It would look Really nice. Just one more thing Mike, you don’t know from “brutal winters” in Texas lol lol Try coming here to Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 lol lol. Peace Mike and please take care ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
That dumpster was a real find. Google says Bosch employs roughly 421,000 associates worldwide (as of December 31, 2022). The company generated sales of 88.2 billion euros in 2022. Its operations are divided into four business sectors: Mobility, Industrial Technology, Consumer Goods, and Energy and Building Technology.
Nice facts 😊
Mais um vídeo sensacional do Mike.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
wow I was surprised when you tossed the soldering IRON to the side and didnt take the cord lol
Wow. What wonderful finds. 🇨🇦
Excellent. Really enjoying your subtle soundtrack additions in the edit.
My 92 year old dad would be in heaven in that trash can. He would pull up a chair and go to town.😂😂😂
Mike!❤
Dude you are simply amazing! Keep up the great work! What's the longest you've ever spent in a dumpster? I can't believe I got in under 1k likes finally lol.
Mike you are doing a great job getting scrap out of the dumpsters Thanks for the videos.❤❤❤❤❤
Greetings from RO!
Hi Mike you can use that white boom to make a davit with a winch to lift out heavy stuff
You hit the jack pot of scrap!!!!
I love the dumpsters full from a whole tool truck. Of course I’d save all the good stuff before heading to the scrap yard with it….
The little iron skillet could be worth a lot of money depending on the name and age of it.
Bună seara Mike felicitari❤❤❤❤
i miss the cleaning process part,do a follow up on this mike👍,godbless and take care always
Back in the 80's a diamondback and Mongoose were the bikes to have.
Yes they were!
Wow, that one dumpster.👍👍💯
The step on tool box is kool. I had one for years
. Nice too have when you need a little step up.
Part 2 please 👍
I agree with you on the metric system, I changed all my measuring tools in advance of the USA changeover the Regan put to bed before it ever happened, Fortunately, I was able to sell everything at a small profit, but the bad taste lingers.
